LEAVES STATE HEALTH SERVICE.
Resignation of Dr. Williams Accept
ed-Will Become Specialist.
Columbia, April 28.-Dr. C. Fred
Williams, secretary of the State board
of health and State health officer, will
leave the service. Dr. Robert Wilson,
Jr., chairman of the State board of
,health, of Charleston, has notified Dr.
Williams that his resignation has
been accepted by the board, and the
announcement to this effect was made
this afternoon. Dr. Williams sent in
his resignation to the board of health,
which accepted i.t only after the effort
to make arrangements by which Dr.
Williams's salary might be increased
:-ailed.
Dr. Williams's successor will be
named by the board at a meeting to
be held here some time between May
10 and 15.
Dr. C. Fred Williams has been sec
retary of the State board of health
for four years, and in 1908, when the
office of State health officer was creat
ed, Dr. Williams was given that posi
tion also. When he took charge of
Ithe work the State board had no of
fice, no stenographer and no labora
tory. Today the State board has fine
ly equipped offices in the new Science
hall of the University of South Caro
olina. Two stenographers are employ
ed.
In connection with Dr. Williams's
work is the pasteur institute, con
ducted by Dr. F. A. Coward, a former
Charlestonian. The State pasteur in
stitute has done fine work. The board
naintains a laboratory, and is con
neoted with the laboratory of Com
missiomer Watson's department in
the pure food work. Also in connec
tion with the State board is the rural
sanitarium work, conducted by Dr.
Labruce Ward, who has a corps of
men in the field in this State. This
work is aided by the Rockefeller hook
worm fund.
Dr. Williams has issued a monthly
bulletin on matters affecting the
health of the people, in order to edu
cate the masses in the preventive
measures that may be taken in such
diseases as tuberculosis and the large
number of diseases occasioned by un
sanitary conditions.
By simply giving a bare outline of
Dr. Williams' work it is unnecessary
to add that he had been a valuable
man for South Carolina. His resig
nation was made to the executive
committee of the board six weeks ago,
and it was not accepted. In Cnaries
ton the resignation was accepted con
ditioned upon the failure to secure a
means of adding to Dr. Williams's
salary. This afternoon the announce
ment was made that the additional
money could not be had, and the
resignation was accepted.
Dr. Williams will engage in the
special work of chest diseases. He
will make a trip to London soon to
make some special studies in this
field of medicine.
GOVERNOR SEEKS INFORMIATION
Writes State and Private Colleges
For Income Figures.
Columbia, April 29.-Gov. Blease
had written to three of the State in
stitutions of learning and to several
other colleges in the State, asking
for information as to the i-ncome of
the institutions. The letters were
addressed to Clemson college, univer
sity of South Carolina, the Citadel, the
military college of South Carolina:
Erskine, Newberry, Porter's, Wofford,
and Furman.
The following copy of the letter to
the superintendent of Porter Military
academy, of Charleston, shows the
form of the letters sent out:
"Superintendent, Porter Military,
Academy, Charleston, South Carolina
-Dear Sir: I am desirous of obtain
ing from you the following informa
tion, if consistent with the rules of
your institutions:
"Ho many students attended your
institution during the session 1910-1]?~
"The amount of money received
from tuitions?
"The amount of money reeied
from the Stare, or othi>r appropria
tions, or from any other sonrr'? I
other words. I wish to renow how
much money you rinstitution receives
for running expenses each year?
'.1 woa ans like to know. if you
please, -Vhat salaries your president
and professors receive?
"If for any reason you should wish
that your reply to me be not made
public, please so state in your com
munication.
"If there is any rule or regulation
opposing the giving to me this infor
mation, of course, I do not ask it,
but if not, you will greatly oblige me
1by furnishing the same.
"Very respectfully,
"Cole. L. Blease,
"Governor."
HOT SHOT AT HITCHCOCK.
"Postoffice Department Greatest Pol.
tical Machine," Says Cullop.
Washington, April 28.-"The post
office department is the greatest. poli
tical machine ever constructed in this
or aliy other country and it is openly
administered as a political organiza
tion."
This was the charge made on the
floor of the house of representatives
today by Mr. Cu-llop, of Indiana, who
referred to Postmaster General Hitch
cock as being the presiding genius of
this organization.
Too much time devoted by the head
of 'the department to political affairs
and too little to business, were declar
ed by Mr. Cullop to be responsible for
the annual deficit in the operation of
the department. He said the people
should know whether any of the 272,
000 postmasters or employees had
been discharged or reduced in rank
for failure to perform political du
ties or contribute to campaign funds,
and whether employees are regularly
assessed for campaign purposes and
are punished if they do not comply.
He declared that the appointive
power lodged with the president is
greater than that enjoyed by any for
eign monarch.
"The power vested in the president
is almost unlimited," he said.
"No man is wise enough or good
enough to be trusted with such pow
er. It is the experience of the world
that men clothed with such power be
come impatient of restraint."
Mr. Cullop advocated the direct
election of many of the federal em
ployees, such as United States mar
shals and postmasters.
